Chef Yia joins The Revolution with Jim and Trav for an extended interview where they discuss:
- The history of the Hmong people and his own early years in a refugee camp in Thailand.
- What his American citizenship means to him and the opportunities he has today.
- The resilience and resourcefulness of the Hmong people and how they are able to take virtually any land and make it plentiful.
- How his parents grow all the vegetables that he uses in his restaurants on their own farm.
- Living a real field to table, farm to table and whole animal lifestyle, rather than doing so as a trend. Going beyond "convenient cuts" and cooking the whole animal and making the most of every flavor.
- The different experiences he has had while filming "Feral".
- What are some of Chef Yia's favorite wild game meats?
- Why we need to understand the animals we are cooking and their diets in order to get the best result.
- His experience trapping beaver, eating it and his surprise at the great flavor it had to offer.
- Plus, much more!
